Why my gerbera plant suddenly become weak and dull

6 years ago

I have bought a pink gerbera a month back. Got two healthy flowers and after that two got dried got next set of buds. One flower bloomed and 4 new buds upcoming. Plant was very healthy, all of a sudden within a half a day the leaves of the plant lost its freshness and it lost its water content, became very weak and dull. Already bloomed flower almost died, so I plucked that flower with long stem and placed in a vase with water, in one hour the flower is fresh again and it’s bright too. My question is now my plant Is very weak with 4 buds, I don’t think photosynthesis is taking place properly. I am scared of losing my entire plant. Please give me some home remedies to revive my plant. My plant gets Direct sunlight during the sunrise time, from morning 6:30 to 9:00.

P.S. I don’t have fertiliser handy, Considering this lockdown please suggest me home remedies easily available ones.

    I think it's dead. maybe you can cut the flowers and keep in a vase.
